What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio placed full sanctions on the ICC in response to investigations into potential war crimes committed by the US and Israel. These sanctions permit the federal government to seize ICC assets in the US or controlled by "US persons." Separately, B'Tselem reported on an elimination project sought by Benjamin Netanyahu.
